Boditrak vs. Balance Board
Data visualization vs. Kinesthetic feedback.
The Boditrak Pressure Mat
Boditrak is a phenomenal diagnostic tool used by top instructors to measure Center of Pressure (COP) trace. It outputs a heat map to a screen, showing exactly where pressure is distributed in the feet at every millisecond of the swing.
The limitation: It requires external focus. You have to swing, stop, and look at an iPad to see what you did.
The GolfBT Balance Board
The balance board is a physical forcing function. It provides immediate, visceral feedback during the swing. If your pressure moves too far right, the board tilts, and your brain immediately recognizes the instability.
| Feature | Boditrak | GolfBT Board |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | ~$1,500+ | Under $100 |
| Data Output | Exact numeric COP trace | Binary (Level vs. Tilted) |
| Feedback Loop | Delayed (Post-swing) | Real-time Kinesthetic |
| Primary Use | Instructor Diagnosis | Solo Motor Pattern Training |
The Verdict: Use Boditrak with your coach to diagnose the fault. Use the GolfBT board in your garage to grind the motor pattern required to fix it.
